I
recently found out that my books A
Search for Meaning: The Story of Rexand
Zed: Volume One
had made the recommended list for the URSA award
nominations. Since none of my books have ever won or
been nominated for anything, that would be really cool
if I could make the nomination list. So if you're a
fan, this would be a great time to show your support!
Here's the info that was sent to me:

Nominations
(up to five in each category) for the 2003 Ursa
Major Awards for the best anthropomorphic literature
and art of 2002 in nine categories, to be presented
at ConFurence 2003 in April 2003, are now open. They
will remain open until January
7, 2003, when they will close so the nominations can
be counted and the voting ballot prepared. The voting
ballot will contain the five highest nominees in each
category.

Nominations
are to cover anthropomorphic motion pictures, TV programs,
fiction, artwork, publications and games first published
during the calendar year from January 1 through December
31, 2002.

And
remember: the Ursa Major Awards are meant for all Furry
fandom. Eligibility is international, not just for what
is released in the U.S., North America, or Great Britain.
There are Furry novels, comic books and fanzines published
during 2002 in Australia, Canada, Britain, and elsewhere
that have not yet been published in the U.S.; they are
all eligible. And participation is wanted from fans
everywhere, not just ConFurence members.

Detective
Comics #777 containing Spore
part 2 is now on the rack. I'm buying 100 copies of each
installment, which I will sell as a complete set through
my site starting in March and at next year's San Diego
Comic Con. Every set will be signed and will sell for
the added cover price of the five issues (same as if you
were to buy it on the stand). If you can't wait til March,
go check a comic book retailer near you, I'm pretty sure
they'll have some copies handy... unless they're sold
out.

The
issue was reviewed yesterday by Randy Lander from
The Fourth Rail and it got a big thumbs up! Check
out the review here.

Here's
one of the page. Just click on it for a larger version.

OK
folks, you demanded it, and now you've got it!

Last
year, I made 300 dvds of my three short films. The purpose
of this was mostly to have copies available for students
when I gave lectures and presentations. To my surprise,
the whole bunch sold out at last summer's San Diego
Comic Con. Since then, I have received multiple emails
from people asking me to press more.

So
here it is, in a brand new package, slickly designed
by The Pod! For this
second edition, we digitally remastered the films in
what I hope will be the very final NTSC version.
